A abstract base class for all stored collections and maps.  This class
 provides implementations of methods that are common to the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Collection.html" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>Collection</CODE></A> and the <A HREF="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/util/Map.html" title="class or interface in java.util"><CODE>Map</CODE></A> interfaces, namely
